The Chavaleh Ballet from Fiddler on the Roof moves me to tears every time without fail. The last 20-30 minutes of that show absolutely wreck me in the best way.
I'm going to second every mention for Kate Rockwell and James McArdle, and throw in Allison Pill for Three Tall Women and Laura Benanti for Meteor Shower

The most recent casting announcement still listed Ruthie Ann Miles, so hopefully that means she’s making a speedy recovery.
The founding fathers in Hamilton are POC because the script says so.
Tracy Turnblad is white because the script says so.
If race is not specified, a person of any race can be cast.
All of that has nothing to do with morals or history; I t’s just the job of actors and directors to do what the author said to do. Surely you can agree with that.

Once Upon a Mattress with Rachel Bloom as Winnifred, Josh Gad as Dauntless, and Donna Murphy as Aggrevane
A Sher-directed Most Happy Fella would be an absolute dream come true. I'd love to see him tackle Sunday in the Park with George somewhere down the line too!

If you’re looking for something more contemporary, try Tracy Letts, Rajiv Joseph, and Sarah Ruhl
Santino Fontana to Join Hello, Dolly as Cornelius!! Feb 21

Count me as another vote in favor of Christian! I saw him as Cornelius in November, with Donna Murphy as Dolly, and thought he was terrific!
This is now the third time I’ve bought a ticket to see Gavin, and I never have, but I have no complaints about who I saw instead. First Jay Armstrong Johnson in Hair, then Christian, and now I’m seeing Santino in March!!! How exciting!!!
